Harry Kane

I marvel that a grand total of feck all people called for a transfer ban of CFC last year when they broke spending records and arguably bought the largest prize in Europe.

City has sold 100M in players these last 12 months. We've 2 seasons worth of CL money going on this season's books (due to the Covid delay in summer of 2020).

I want us to witness the greatest piss-boil of all time this summer... And I believe that we will.

The thing is, people aren't really threatened by Chelsea these days. The reason why people cry about City turning the league into a one horse race is because they believe the club genuinely has the capacity to do so (which really we should see as a compliment).




Assuming these signings come off btw, your wish will be granted. As beautiful as with the successful CAS announcement.

Your total debt is almost 1.2B - more even than Barcelona. There is no way your annual debt service is just 25m.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium leaves Daniel Levy and Spurs with huge debts

There is only interest payable on the £637m stadium debt and the recent £250m debt raised to pay off the Bank of England CCFF Covid loan. The former is at an average interest rate of 2.66%, which works out at just under £17m per annum. The latter is at an average interest rate of 2.8%, which works out at exactly £7m per annum. The total interest payable is therefore just under £24m per annum.

The remaining debt is just the standard debt that all clubs have - further instalments on transfers and debt such as amounts falling due within the year - the latter of which being an accounting technicality. It has to be reported as debt even though it constitutes normal operational costs over the coming year. It includes such technicalities as owing season ticket holders the cost of the remaining value if their tickets until all games are played. As such, none of this debt is subject to interest charges.

I do wish you fellas would stop citing ill informed, sensationalist articles written by football hacks who are ignorant about Spurs’ situation and who don’t understand finance. Better to keep the discussion to Harry Kane.

Check Swiss ramble out impartial write up of all club’s financially! Think spurs be fine paying of their debt but it will hamper player buying for years to come! Look at Arsenal spent next to nowt and sold a shit load of players to keep up the payments oh Wenger spent next to nowt while he was manager he was a miracle worker..

i DO feel however that spending 100m on grealish makes our hand weaker in the kane negotiations. If you pay 100m for grealish, how can you expect to pay 120m for the league's top scorer & assists?

It seems like the negotiations for both deals have already concluded right after the Euro's. We are just waiting for them to get their replacements.

Bailey is in at Villa, so I expect Grealish to be announced early next week post medical. Might need to wait on Kane though until they sign one. In any case, I hope Kane comes in sooner rather than later to acclimatize in his new team.

£24m pa is hardly trivial but the stadium will be a massive asset and long term will sustain Spurs. I think Kane can not wait any longer though for Spurs. Spurs had a great chance to build a top side but made the wrong appointment in Mourinho and for that you will probably lose Kane. I'd sell him now while you can get £120m for him.

Spurs with or without Kane are one of England's top clubs. I always thought of them as such when City were struggling. A side with 60,000 in one of the best stadiums in Europe can not be held back forever. The trouble is the Premier League is so competitive. IMO Arsenal are going to be strong this season. Villa have no chance. Spurs do. You know in your lifetime you will see the glory times again.

Villa are idiots. Maybe Grealish wont go, but there is a high chance he will, so why haven't they spent the £100m up front? I know they've made a couple of signings but imo they will struggle next season without Grealish.

Getting a replacement for Kane will be incredibly tough, unless Spurs can actually go and get Vlahovic who they've targeted all summer, or Danny Ings. Just depends. I think they should be going for Lautaro from Inter

Yeah I'm surprised how majority are undermining this. They will feel the effects of not having Grealish. Hence you can sort of really tell from their fans being all over the place at the prospect of him leaving.

£125 + £15m in add ons. Everyone wins. City stick to their £225 spend for the window and Spurs grt their fee

Is Harry Kane not worth more than that to Spurs?

If the Grealish deal is anywhere near 100m and I have serious doubts it is, then Kane is worth far more, especially to Spurs, who without his goals are a mid table team at best.

I still think it will cost us 100m plus a player, and a good player at that.

The longer they haggle the narrower the buying window, for a new striker, becomes.
They need to take the offer and get on with their lives.

It depends, it's easier to negotiate with over a £100m in cash tbf. Window might be narrow, you can sort 2-3 options in a couple weeks, which I'm sure they have, narrow a deal for one and offer cash, which most clubs in this market would be willing to accept. Just depends how long they want to play the game on negotiations with Kane, I can see it dragging another couple weeks but no more than that.

I can't wait for the day Spurs come calling for one of our players. Please City, make those fuckers jump through flaming hoops! :)

That would surely be more of a pain in the arse? Which good player would agree to go there for less money and no champions league? City would be better doing £130m plus add ons to £150m and then maybe selling someone for £50-60m? Bernardo Silva maybe?

Ake for me, more than happy if he was part of the deal, especially if it means Laporte is staying.

The rumours are that Bernardo does not like the culture/weather, so can't see him wanting North London.

130m plus Ake good for everyone.

That would make the deal nearly £170 mill we wouldn’t do that ,besides we won’t let Ake go. We’ll pay 120/130 with add ons up to £150 mill.
